Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
pulsed mode radiofrequency
Pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) treatment, a relative novel pain intervention at recent decade, was found to be able to alleviate pain by delivering an electrical field and heat bursts at a temperature less than 42°C to neural tissue in the absence of neural injury. One dose of PRF was given in tibial nerve behine the medial ankle in intervention group.
Pulsed radiofrequency (PRF)
Pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) treatment, a relative novel pain intervention at recent decade, was found to be able to alleviate pain by delivering an electrical field and heat bursts at a temperature less than 42°C to neural tissue in the absence of neural injury.
Xylocaine
2 c.c xylocaine was given in tibial nerve behind the medial ankle in control group.
